This IS a throwback -- it's probably been around twenty years. Calico Critters were marketed as Sylvanian Families in the 80's, and manufactured by Tomy. Not sure of the licensing history, but this is one of the original sets. Most of the dark green items are, and many of the animals have been around quite awhile. CC use standard dollhouse scale, which means you can mix them with a lot of other sets, too. The bathroom and kitchen sets, which have been updated, had the most play value, and the bunkbed was great, too. The houses are expensive, and cramped, but an old or cheap bookcase that can be wallpapered or painted makes a great house/storage unit. Anyway, had this one, liked it a lot, and when I last checked, the toys are still in pretty good shape, so, while these are expensive, they last well. The hangers don't hold onto anything very well, but they stay in the wardrobe, and are a cute detail.
 Basic, But Has It All July 21, 2008
G. McCarthy (Chicago)
This is a nice, simple bedroom set for your Calico Critters. All the pieces are made out of the same sturdy solid green plastic. The bed's headboard and footboard have a panel look, and there are balls on the posters. The mattress is a polka dotted fabric/canvas. The wardrobe has 2 opening doors with metal handles. Inside, there is a small mirror on one door, a hanging bar, and a small working drawer on the floor. The only accessories with this set are hangers - 4 beige plastic ones. My girls don't have any extra Calico Critters clothes, so the hangers don't get much actual use, but they enjoy having them in the wardrobe anyway. A small vanity has a tilting mirror and 2 small working drawers. There is also a small bench to use as a seat. The bed, wardrobe and vanity all have decorative flourishes at the top, much more stylish than square boxy pieces.
This set isn't perfect, but I am satisfied with it. We're always looking for more beds for our dollhouses, and the wardrobe and vanity don't take up too much space. My main complaint is that the bed and bench are too small. This set is called a Master Bedroom, but the bed is only 2 1/2 inches wide, and is actually the exact same bed as the one in the Girl's Pink and Lavendar bedrooms (just a different color). You can put two Critters on it, but they have to be balanced and will partially hang off the sides - this is true for parents or kids. It's really just a single bed. The bench is also a little too small. I can carefully seat a Critter on the bench in front of the vanity, but my daughters (5 & 8) have more trouble. Most of the time, they just have their Critters stand in front of the mirror.
This bedroom set seems to be a bit of a "throwback" for Calico Critters, and much plainer than the new, more elaborate (and more expensive) offerings. Most of the new sets are more decorative and have many accessories. For example, the girls lavendar bedroom bed (the exact same bed) is white with purple balls, instead of being a solid color. That set also comes with many accessories (the box says over 30). I like having some of the "simpler" sets, because the many accessories cost more, and, at least in my house, tend to get lost quickly. Also, keep in mind that even though this set is all solid green, the styling IS decorative - the bed is exactly the same as the fancy girl's bedrooms - just solid green instead of pink and white, or lavendar and white. The accessory I do wish was included, though, is the bedding. A pillow and bedspread would go a long way to jazz up the design of this set.
Bottom line - I'm happy to have this set. If you have to choose just one bedroom set, it's a tough call. The more elaborate sets are, well, more elaborate, but this one has everything your kids and their critters need (especially if you cut a remnant for a bedspread).
